'70's-80's rockers and hair

[clee984]

It’s an interesting question, because for a lot of rockers from the 70s and 80s hair was part of the job description, so I think maybe they feel they have to have it no matter what. I remember seeing Ronnie Wood on a show (Top Gear, maybe) and the interviewer asked him about that, how come all the Rolling Stones all still have such great hair ? And it might just be because I’m over-senstive to such topics, but I did think that Mr Wood’s response was a little coy, and with hair likes those kinds of rockers have, you can’t really see the hairline or anything (we don’t call it a ‘mop’ for no reason), so they presumably all do something with it – whether it be dying or whatever. I know Lemmy dyed his hair, I heard him talking about it ("I’d look like Willie Nelson if I didn’t"). I’m sure there are a few pieces on a few older banging heads.

Just take a moment to say RIP David Bowie, possibly the greatest head of hair on any rock star ever, and quite possibly the coolest mo-fo that ever lived.

There are some bald rockers, but they tend to be more recent – Michael Stipe from REM, Billy Corgan, the guy from Live. All the (male) members of the Pixies were bald or balding by the time they re-formed in their late 30s/early 40s.

When I was 15 this was my favorite rock band and Axl Rose was literally the man of my dreams lol. Quite a lot of time has passed, but I remember them before, when I was walking from school and listening to GNR. By the way, at that time I just listened to music on my phone, downloading it from the Internet. If I had services like Tubidy, everything would be much easier. This is a free service that I actively use now, because I couldn't get used to the fact that now you have to pay for a subscription if you want to listen to music.
